After really long days everyone got off from their works together. Shivay was feeling elated to have everyone in front of him by just a single call. But he learnt life lesson that never neglect anyone because of your busy schedule and always manage time for the family. Anika invited Ishana too to join the family and have fun. Managing her set of works Ishana arrived on time. She is also seeing her sister and her dear boy friend after long. Youngsters discussed to do something together but ended up getting no conclusion. Lastly sitting bored they all tried figuring out indoor games. When the discussion was on to decide whether to play ludo or chess, daadi interrupted. Saviour she is at every moment.

"What about playing treasure hunt children" smilingly she suggested.

Shivay, Omkara and Rudra remembered that how they used to enjoy this particular game during their childhood and agreed in single chance. They missed Priyanka as she left them two days back and went to abroad for few meetings of her company. While Anika, Soumya and Ishana looked at each other but Sahana clapped perfectly on time to encourage everyone.

"How is the game supposed to be daadi?" Anika asked and Soumya nodded looking straight.

"I will divide you all in two teams and will provide a basic initial clue which will lead you to the next clue and this will go on until you find your last clue. And there are total of six clues, three for team A and another three for team B" daadi's idea sounded interesting and adventurous.

No one had any heart to say no to daadi because a childish excitement burst inside them.

"Okay we are in" Ishana declared.

But the main problem arose was the team division. But managing it perfectly daadi divided the youngsters into girls' team and boys' team.

"We will eventually win dear girls" Shivay declared but he glorifying themselves that too in front of Anika isn't going to get successful ever.

"Ohh that you can term as misunderstanding" Anika commented hi-fiving her girls gang.

Everyone got readied as daadi went inside her room to prepare toughest clues for them. Apart from the game she wanted couples to come close as well, Rudra and Soumya's awkwardness should decrease. After almost an hour she came out and wisely tied eyes of everyone using black cloth and asked the elders to keep watch while she will go and hide the chits. It took more thirty minutes and youngsters eyes got untied. They looked at each other in anticipation.

"So I am providing you with the first clue. The location of the second clue is mentioned in this clue itself" saying so daadi handed both the teams their respective clue and got seated.

They opened and stared at that like staring at ghosts.

"It's so difficult" Shivay commented remembering the clues they used to get during their childhood.

"We are winning that means" Ishana took the throne and smiled.

The clue to Shivay's team read "Dear lord give my children some peace, because they need to find their lost queen's mind piece" reading that for a moment Shivay thought the location to be the temple of their house but it can't be so easy.

They analysed and tried concentrating over the last part of their clue. Omkara stared at the girls' team who were equally struggling reading the clue.

Clue of girls team again sounded easy but seemed way difficult to crack "We call it room much, but it is different from every other room as such" Soumya looked defeated and turned towards Anika while Anika in turn looked at Ishana.

"Finding lost queen's mind piece may mean the pool side where we always discuss about our wives and specifically girl friend in O's case" Rudra suggested shooting his charming smile brightly.

Listening to them, their clue cracked inside Soumya's brain and she ran upstairs. Anika and Ishana followed asking her for the solution. She explained that the room mentioned in their clue is basically the room attached to the terrace. Smilingly those three girls started searching for their next clue while boys scratched their head and thought about it more because pool side is their time pass area where finding queen's mind piece is never going to take place.

"Shivay it is our game room, finding lost queen's mind piece over here means finding every new and tricky way to make the particular queen win among black or white playing pieces of chess" as soon the words left from Omkara's mouth, the three brothers ran towards their game room.

Soon both the team got their next clue after finding it for few minutes. If the first one was teaser then for sure this one was trailer for both the teams.

"We saw them growing and dying, but their death equates birth" this was the next clue for girls team.

For sure their respect for daadi and her super amazing brain increased. She only took an hour to write all these while they were confused in every word of the clue. Silently three girls sat chanting the clue like a mantra.

Meanwhile, boys got their clue as well "Hopes did increase every time we looked at you, please stay with us always just like you do" Rudra threw away the chit after reading the clue aloud.

They felt lost and looked here and there. For a moment they thought why can't daadi make any straight forward clue and repeated the verse of the clue again.

"Bhaiya it is the temple this time for sure" Rudra's eyes twinkled.

"That much easier?" Om cut him off in between doubting his guess.

"Probably yes, always expect the unexpected from daadi" saying so Shivay walked towards the direction of their temple.

Up there in terrace, girls left hope and were discussing how to face the boys and let them know that girls are accepting defeat. Ishana's mood directly swung from happy to sad and she sat staring the plants perfectly decorated over the terrace.

"Di, what fertiliser do the gardener use to maintain these plants so nicely? I mean you know right that the plant we try to grow in our house never gives the desired result" Anika's smile reached her ear and she mouthed thank yous to Ishana and asked them to follow her.

"See in this house gardener never use any artificial fertiliser to grow the plants but they use dead plants in the place of fertiliser and that really gives the desired result you are talking about. And now this gave me the answer of our clue, we saw every plant growing and dying in our garden and the dead plants are used for healthy life of other living plants. That means our next clue is hidden in the garden under an almost dead plant" and as said, the girls soon found out the third clue as well.

After searching for long thirty minutes boys too found their clue out. That last clue that decides the winner amongst them. Boys and girls read it, this time the words seemed twisted but the answer seemed easier.

"The treasure of this treasure hunt is hidden where it belongs, safe and sound" the last clue was same for both the teams unknown to them.

Shivay for once thought to contact ministry to grant an award to his daadi for having such an amazing piece of brain.The words that confused both the team is treasure and hidden. They thought if the treasure is obvious for them to get then why is it hidden? But again, the clue only had the answer.

"Over here treasure may mean money or jewelries and they are in locker room, so maybe daadi meant something from there" Shivay using his intelligent brain suggested and those three brothers marched off to locker room.

They searched for any place where the last treasure might be hidden but they got none. Meanwhile girls gang reached there too thinking of same solution. Seeing the boys already present there, they asked about there clue and they got to know that they have same clue. 

"Here is nothing" Omkara informed.

"Then it is going to be a tie, let's just go to daadi and ask her about the treasure because I can't think of it anymore" Rudra said.

"Hey, locker isn't only there in locker room. Locker is there in every cupboard of this house as well, so what if daadi meant treasure inside that lockers?" Ishana suggested, she had a point.

"But then searching every locker of this enormous house isn't easy and it would mean invading privacy as well" Anika said.

"Then let's do one thing, we will at first search the cupboards of our respective room and then go to daadi with just the solution and no treasure" Omkara gave the idea to which everyone agreed.

"No more competition then, we couples will search for it together" Shivay intertwined his hands with Anika and smilingly looked forward.

Everyone agreed to that proposal too, team work means success. Thinking so they marched to their room and walked towards the cupboard. Rudra unlocked the locker of his cupboard and was shocked to see a jewellery box kept there. He took it and opened it, it had a note written inside.

"Sorry child for unlocking your private cupboard without your knowledge, but the necklace inside this jewellery box is for my dear Soumya, please make her wear it and then come down. There is a chain as well, and it is for you Rudra. For Sahana a ring is there too. Apart from those my blessings, love and wishes are always there with you my children. These were the treasure for you both.

-Your's daadi"

Rudra read the note aloud. Soumya's eyes moistened, wiping away her tears Rudra kissed her forehead tenderly and made her wear the necklace. She smiled looking at him and locked the chain around his neck. Both the pieces were beautiful.

Omkara and Ishana too got a box from the locker of Om's cupboard. A note accompanied that box too.

"Dear Omkara, apologising for unlocking your cupboard without your knowledge but inside this box there is a necklace for Ishana, my aashirvad  gift for her because I want to see you both married soon. You know about my age right, so before I close my eyes forever I want to see your marriage and Priyanka's marriage too, so please think about it dear. And there is a watch too and it is for you because I know your love for watches. These were the treasure gift for you both along with my love, blessings and wishes.

-Your's daadi"

Omkara looked at Ishana, she neared him and engulfed him in a hug. Omkara dropped a kiss over her head.

"Let's get married soon would be wifey" Omkara made her look at him and slowly placed his lips over her's saying so.

Responding to the sensual dance of his lips she pushed him more close to her.

Anika and Shivay went inside their room and taking the chance Shivay soon locked the door behind. Anika without noticing that went ahead and unlocked the locker of her cupboard, a jewellery box, a red coloured saree and a note was kept. 

"Shivay I got the treasure, come let's see" she sat over their bed and opened the note.

"My children, at first I apologise for unlocking your cupboard without your permission but the gifts you got are your treasure. Anika this was the saree given to me by my husband when I came to this house as the daughter-in-law of this family. From then I have cherished this piece of gift. This is the sign of love between me and yours' grandfather and today I am gifting this to you because I know you will keep the love alive in everyone's heart forever and keep this family bonded. And a necklace is there for you too, along with a ring for Shivay. Always be happy my children, my wishes, blessings and love are always there with you.

-Your's daadi"

Anika touched the saree tenderly and looked at Shivay. He was staring her back and nodded no looking at the water forming inside her eyes.

"I love you so much wife" he said cupping her cheeks and kissed her forehead.

"Love you too" she hugged him and kissed his cheek.

"Let's make you wear this saree" he got up and in one swift pull took away her kurti.

She blushed and looked down, goosebumps danced over her figure as his eyes shamelessly lingered over her figure. It felt just like the first time and in a swift move he made her lie over the bed as he showered kisses. Within no minutes rest of their clothes bid them adieu and she took the charge of loving him. Rolling her over he came on top and made love to her. He could hear her mumbling love words as they reached extreme.

"You are crazy" she commented as he lied flat over his back on her side.

"Always crazy for you sweetheart" he kissed on top of her nose.

After regaining their composure they got up and he helped her in wearing the saree. After getting fully dressed and wearing the jewelries they went down. Omkara-Ishana and Rudra-Soumya were also present there. Hoping to not get teased they went in front and stood beside daadi. Daadi got teary eyed looking at her grandchildren accepting her words. She blessed all of them. At the end they felt good and promised inside their heart to always live happily with each other.
